Some properties viewable from UnrealEd uses the word "Kraal" instead of "Krall". Is there any info about these names? I believe the Krall were originally called Kraal (double 'a' as in Skaarj), and that was the Skaarj name that was given to their slaves. But then someone from Epic decided that it didn't sound too good and changed it into Krall? GreatEmerald 2008-02-27T18:07:50

"Kraalbolt", for instance? Raffaello9 11:48, 27 February 2008 (EST)
I always figured it's indeed just an old name for the Krall, and guessed Googling "Kraal Unreal" would be helpful, and I immediately found an article on Unreal's AI by Steven Polge, dated 1998-07-01. I suppose it's worth a mention in this article's Trivia section. Retodon8 14:13, 27 February 2008 (EST)
Yes, this site [1] even gives a theory on why the name has changed! But I wonder if the black Krall in the Unreal Beta weren't the real Kraal? --GreatEmerald 11:27, 28 February 2008 (EST)
